It is accurate to say that, in contrast to common conception, there was no unified Mayan empire. The Maya were spread out over three different sub-regions, each with its own unique environment and culture.
The Maya civilization was a Mesoamerican culture created by the Maya people. It is renowned for its logosyllabic writing system, the most advanced and highly developed art, architecture, mathematics, calendar, and astronomical system.
The Maya Region, which includes southeast Mexico, all of Guatemala, and Belize, as well as the western reaches of Honduras and El Salvador, is where the Maya civilization originated.
More than 6 million of their descendants, commonly known as the Maya, still live in the same region as their predecessors and still speak more than 28 of the original Mayan languages.

If the Sun and all celestial distances were scaled down such that the sun was the size of a ping pong ball, then its nearest stellar neighbor would be located closest to Richmond, KY.
The distance to the Sun's nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.3 light-years, which is equivalent to approximately 268,000 AUs (Astronomical Units). If the size of the Sun is reduced to the size of a ping pong ball and all distances are also reduced proportionally, then the distance to Proxima Centauri would also need to be scaled down.
Given that the diameter of a ping pong ball is around 40 millimeters, while the diameter of the Sun is around 1.4*10^9 meters, then the scaled distance to Proxima Centauri would be about 7.6 kilometers. Considering various geographic locations, the Sun's nearest neighbor star in proportion to the Sun being a ping pong ball and located in the UK Chemistry-Physics Building, would be closest to Richmond, KY (approximated). This is based on the relative distances of the listed options to the given location in the UK.

B) continental crust has a higher density than oceanic crust.
C) oceanic crust undergoes subduction, while continental crust does not.
D) continental crust is made mostly of basalt, while oceanic crust is made of low-density rocks.
The correct option is C) continental crust does not undergo subduction while oceanic crust.
The oceanic crust comprises of basalt while continental crust comprises of granite. The oceanic crust is much thinner than continental crust. While density of oceanic crust is more than continental crust. This is the reason the continental crust are floating while oceanic crust are not that buoyancy. Geologically, the continental crust is older than oceanic crust.
The crust is classified into continental crust and oceanic crust. The outer layer of the earth is crust which is floating on the molten mantle.
